Flipping reed edges with a 1/2 oz flipping jig in black and blue with a D Bomb trailer produced a beautiful 22.25 inch fish in the early morning. Keep an ear out for bass busting on fish in the reeds, if you don't hear it they are not there, keep looking around until you hear them. When the reed fish bit died off, running a burner worm in black/blue glitter around isolate patches of pads intermixed with arrow reeds and Kissimmee grass was producing good numbers. Run the worm through the pads and kill it on the edges, bass would sometimes wait until the worm reached the edge before attacking, some would be in ambush clearings in the pads, others would be around the clumps of grasses in the pads.

Istokpoga is really low right now. This has positioned the fish on the edges of the deepest stretches of reeds on the lake. Anywhere where you have a few feet of water to flip you have a good chance of running into a few. While you can catch some flipping a swimming worm, It seemed like a heavier jig created a reaction strike and worked much better than a Texas rig. The shallow stuff is very difficult to get into with the low water. Make sure you are trimmed up and come in slow as you approach reed lines. I wouldn't even mess with the canals. Those fish are long gone.
